I'm not saying it has to do with those consonants. My point is: if the
listening environment was so bad that I would mishear some properly
pronounced vowel as a different vowel, I could also mishear some
properly pronounced consonant as a different consonant.

The problem is her pronunciation. The first obvious solution is some exerci=
se.

- I want few of them.
- I wanted few of them.
- I want a few of them.
- I wanna feud over them.
- I won't feud over them.

More examples can be found in YouTube's automatic transcription:

Turn on the CC button for the computer-generated subtitle, which is
supposed to represent the human speech as objectively heard. Note
where "when our economy was improving" is misheard as "when are
condoms improving" at 0:30, which I don't think is less fatal than
{so'o} being mistaken for {so'u}.
